Arsene Wenger's 'gut feeling' tells him that striker Emmanuel Adebayor will stay at Arsenal.
Adebayor's future at the Gunners is the subject of conjecture after his form has come in for criticism from supporters and suggestions he is unsettled.
The Togo international's absence from his side's 0-0 draw at Manchester United sparked further speculation, but Wenger has maintained he is struggling with a groin problem.
It is still claimed Adebayor could move away from the Premier League in the summer, but Wenger said on Friday: "My gut feeling is he will be here.
"At the moment his future is at the club. He has a long contract and we want to keep him at the club. I am hopeful I will be able to keep him."
Wenger's position in charge of Arsenal has also been under scrutiny although the Frenchman has stressed he intends to remain at the club despite reported interest from Real Madrid.
Ahead of the club's final game of the season versus Stoke, Wenger said: "I do not want to talk about that (speculation) because that is endless, and I am used to it.
"I believe I have faced that for a long time. When you are in a job for a long time, as soon as you have a blip, people are not happy.
"Through my whole stay here I have had contacts with other clubs, but nothing ever comes out from my side.
"I cannot master what people say or what is written in the newspapers.
"I believe nobody can question my commitment and I have always shown my commitment to this club.
"I cannot deny every noise or contact I have. My commitment is as ever and if one day it changes I will inform you."
